Saturday, August 24th, five people, Arthur, Kevin, Cindy, Gina, Alison and Lauren, decided to express their faith in Jesus through baptism off the rocky shore at Colt State Park. Here are their baptism stories.

We have some bittersweet news to share: Juanita Moore has moved with her daughter Carolyn and four grandchildren to Norfolk, Virginia. While she regrets the short timeline the move necessitated, Juanita is excited to move with her family and for the blessing of new opportunities that the move provides them. A consistent smile behind the cafe counter, a loud laugher and big hugger, a much loved member of the staff and a steady presence for so many in the church, Juanita will be missed by many at BridgePointe.

BridgePointe sent 11 high school students and 4 adult leaders to work with Restoration House Ministries in Manchester, New Hampshire the last week in June. At BridgePointe we believe students can make a difference today as they follow Jesus. Not only are they the leaders of the future; they are the leaders of today. We are so proud to see our students serve like Jesus and show people the love of Jesus.

Today BridgePointe is assembling at Bristol Town Beach to celebrate baptisms. These baptisms are an outward expression of surrender and faith in the God that’s been pursuing them and restoring them through Jesus. Here are the stories of the people choosing to be baptized today. Read them and praise God with us for His work in each life. Join us in praying that these baptisms are just the starting point for each of these people. More stories and photos will be added to this post.

With the pace and chaos of life, it is easy for even the most important things to sneak up on us. Maybe you’ve experienced this with an anniversary, birthday, holiday or big appointment. You knew it was coming, but you still weren’t ready for it. The problem is that these moments might lose significance without anticipation and preparation.

As part of the Grit & Grace series, we hosted a panel discussion on mission and sharing faith. Questions were submitted online and in person and Keith Cabral, Chris Link, Joanne Chang, and Pat Miller honestly spoke from their experience about sharing faith with others. Here is an audio file from the night.

Our Lifesaver series has been taking us through the 10 commandments, and it was unavoidable that we'd end up on number seven. Because God is faithful, He desires for His people to be faithful to our human commitments. Of those, marriage is the most sacred and precious. God gave sex as the physical experience of the holistic oneness shared within marriage

God has a great plan for families, but it takes intentionality, discipline, and frankly a lot of hard work. If you’re ready to experience God’s best for you and your family, these resources can help you get there.
